Review of TEKKEN: The Motion Picture (1998) by George R — 27 Aug 2013

It is a really curious, but nevertheless a bad film. A really well-developed story about tragedy and familiar revenge (which was actually the game itself) turns into a strange fusion between both the first and the second videogames that leads into a boring, full of topics film.

It does not even have Kazuya throwing his father off a cliff (which is an essential part of the end of the first and beginning of the second game), whereas the classical references taken from The Godfather and that Hamlet-style feeling with Kazuya's own demons and struggles for revenge from the original videogames are badly portraited.
